The gravel road leading to the
few houses at Rich's Cove. Back in the late 1960s, there
was a sign at the beginning of this road that read "Enter
at Your Own Risk." As a youngster, that sign instilled
in me a feeling of bravery and adventure as my family
navigated on a daily basis that oh-so-treacherous 300
yards or so of well-potholed gravel that led from our
rented house to the island's main road. As of today, the
sign is gone, although the condition of the road is just
about as I remember it.
